"You have one?!" Jaden exclaimed in shock. "Why do you have one?"

"I'll explain when I get back," Yugi replied, going towards the front door. "It's a pretty long story."

"We got time," Yusei mentioned. "I'm pretty sure that we have time to hear it all."

"Okay then." Yugi left Lizzy's apartment and sighed heavily. He wondered how it all came to this. But then again, he wasn't wearing the Millennium Puzzle like he usually did in high school. So it was strange that bad things are still happening to him and his friends. He thought more about this when he unlocked the door to his apartment and walked in. He went over to his bedroom and grabbed his Millennium item off of his bed. "Well it looks like trouble came to us, Other Me," Yugi announced with a sweatdrop. "I think it's time you met everyone."

"Are you sure?" Atem asked him, coming out of the pendant as a spirit. "Did trouble actually come to us again?"

"Yes and it's Bakura that is behind it! We have to stop him before he starts hurting people. But for that to happen, I'm bringing you with me."

"Okay, bring me to them then."

Yugi nodded as Atem went back into the puzzle. He ran out of his bedroom and out of the apartment, determined to get everything back to what it was before. "I'll get everything back to normal," he thought. "You'll see!" But a single word stopped the rest of his thoughts. Normal? What on earth was normal? Could it be that normal is having everyone at peace without the power of the Millennium items? Does he have to say goodbye to Atem, after all of this time? Yugi shook his head to get that thought away from him. No...he's not going to let that happen again.

The boy with spiky hair finally got back to Lizzy's apartment and went in, knowing that the front door was probably open.

"Oh, you came back!" Lizzy exclaimed with a smile. "Jaden and Yusei were about to fall asleep."

"Man, you ruined the plan!" Jaden said loudly, laying on the floor. "We were gonna sleep until Yugi came back."

"I thought you said that you had time to hear my story," Yugi mentioned with a slight frown.

"We did but you took a long time to get here. I was about to nap for a bit and Yusei's already out."

"How he fell asleep so fast is beyond me," Joey said bluntly, starting at the sleeping Yusei. "We should probably wake him up."

"Don't worry, I'll do it," Lizzy said softly. She got up from the couch, kneeled down on the floor next to Yusei, and started to shake him. "Hey, get up. Yugi is back and has something to show us."

"Hmm?" Yusei groaned lightly, opening his eyes. "What is he showing us?"

"My Millennium item," Yugi replied, holding up his pendant. "This is the Millennium Puzzle. Yes, it was a puzzle and I solved it when I was in high school. I then began switching my soul with the soul that lives in the puzzle itself."

"Can we meet the other soul then?" Yusei asked, sitting up on the floor.

"Sure!" A bright light surrounded Yugi and the Millennium Puzzle and in an instant, a more mature-looking Yugi appeared before the group. It was Atem.

"Huh?" Atem said aloud, confused.

That's the end of the chapter part! Thanks for reading and look forward to the next one. :)
